Did you pick the name out of a hat or is that your hard on for Swedish guys clouding your judgment again? You're supposed to be Leafaholix.

Not Alcoholix.

He's as good a pick at #10 as there is. Draft position means nothing, look over his skills and abilities. There's almost nothing wrong with his game, and at the age of 19, he's probably one of the best defensemen in a men's league.

Two players who will help Cleveland when they are healthy are Milan Michalek and Scott Ford. The cadaver ligament, which was used for Michalek's surgery while in Cleveland last year, suffered an infection and another procedure could be necessary.

"Scott Ford (knee) will be out until January and we will monitor Milan's situation as well," said Wilson.

Even with a possible additional surgery, Michalek would likely play hockey again this season.

"Yes I do think so," said Wilson. "We are rehabbing and strengthening the knee. There may in fact be another procedure needed. We want to make sure he is 100 percent healthy for the long term though. It is like the Gary Suter situation."

Infections in elbow surgery for Suter helped shelve the Sharks defenseman for almost an entire year, but when he returned to the ice, he showed Sharks fans he was worth the wait.

If the follow-up procedure were necessary, instead of taking a ligament from a cadaver, the procedure would involve using tissue from Michalek's hamstring.
